- 12. REAL TIME PROCESSING • Process continuous data streams • Reduce time increase information value • Filter only useful bits • Streaming is a much more natural model REALTIMEPROCESSING
- 13. APACHE FLINK • Framework and distributed processing engine • Process Unbounded and Bounded Data • Leverage In-Memory Performance • Building Blocks for Streaming Applications • How does Flink support data pipelines? APACHEFLINK
- 14. APACHE BEAM APACHEBEAM • open source unified programming model to define and execute data processing pipelines

- 19. EKWB • EKWB is a premium liquid cooling manufacturer • Founded in 1999 by Edvard König • Their products are available in more than 30 countries worldwide • EKWB offers a full range of products for end users and enterprise as well • Some of the products are cooling systems (CPU and GPU), fittings, radiators, water blocks, reservoirs, pumps EKWB
- 20. • EKWB uses Zendesk customer support software • It offers interactions between customers and EKWB support team through so called tickets • Customers create tickets where they describe their questions with EKWB products/orders Zendesk ZENDESK
- 21. Tickets • Tickets are resolved by EKWB support groups • There are two EKWB support groups: • Technical • Shipping • There are three different categories of tickets: • Technical • Shipping • AND GENERAL!!! TICKETS
- 22. Challenges Manual assignment of tickets to support groups Faster reply time to more critical tickets Which agent is going to reply unassigned tickets CHALLENGES
- 23. Solution • Automatic ticket classification to Support or Technical team • Calculation of ticket priority • Algorithm for automatic ticket assignment SOLUTION IS IT REALLY ?!? 84% 57% 25% 91% 55% 30%
- 25. Support Team Classification • Challenges: • Preparing training and test set • Validation of results • Implementation of model in working process • It‘s a NLP problem! • We used BERT embeddings for text representations • Model classifies tickets with SVM algorithm • We achieved balanced accuracy of 89,33%! SUPPORTTEAMCLASSIFICATION AND WE ARE IMPROVING IT!!!
- 26. Automatic Priority Calculation • Goal was to prepare ticket priority evaluation • EKWB team had to mark tickets on scale 1-5 for few months! • Tickets need to be ranked by their priority so that tickets with higher priority are solved sooner • QUESTION: classification || regression? • Model evaluates ticket on scale 1-100% PRIORITYCALCULATION 4 5 6,4% 40,2 % 5 34,7%
- 27. Automatic Agent Assignment • Who is going to solve next ticket? • Person with the least tickets? • Person with least high priority tickets? • How to know which agent is active? • Our system smartly assigns tickets to one of active agents • Trying to find balance AGENTASSIGNMENT
- 28. Future Work • Dockerize everything!!! • Automatic cancelation of orders based on tickets • Connection with ERP system • Automatic responses (or at least semi automatic) • DEEP THOUGHT *Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy FUTUREWORK
